Chicken noodle soup reminds me of a “Mom hug”. That hug you get from your mom, that only she can give, and that somehow conveys to you that everything is going to be okay. Both warm the soul and comfort you like nothing else. As the days get colder, shorter and darker here in Minnesota, I thought everyone could make some comfort food to let us all know everything will be okay.

Chicken Broth. The staple of every kitchen and an integral part of millions of recipes. Yes, you can easily go out and buy a carton of high quality chicken broth these days, but nothing – I mean NOTHING comes close to using made-from-scratch chicken broth. Seriously, just try it. Just once. Your homemade broth, which you can very easily freeze, will elevate your normal recipes from so-so to simply amazing. It takes a little time, but the result will be so worth the effort – I promise! And, as an added bonus, your house is going to smell de-licious!! For me, there is just something about making, and eating, homemade chicken broth that just warms the soul. I would recommend cooking this in large batches and then freezing it to use in all of your recipes.
